To which Salmansohn says: “When life throws you curveballs, hit them out of the park,” and tells readers just how in The Bounce Back Book – which has a symbolic red rubber cover on the outside, and inside tips on how to thrive in the face of adversity, setbacks, losses, divorce, bankruptcy, assaults, illness, miscarriage, death, layoffs, slander – you name it.

Salmansohn draws from the latest happiness research, resiliency psychology and even Greek philosophy, to create 75 potentially life-changing tips on how to bounce back, each on a spread that’s as punchy in look as it is powerful in message: “Don’t just write a ‘To Do List’, write a ‘To Be’ List,” “Turn Negativity into Nuggetivity” and “Feeling Means Your Healing Means Your Dealing.

The Bounce Back Bookwas so loved by the people at Psychology Today that they made her their Bounce Back Columnist. Plus, the people at Oprah loved the book so much, that it became an “Oprah Recommend” – featured on their site.
